What are orthopedic pillows?
Orthopedic pillows usually have a contoured shape to minimize spine diseases and provide adequate support for the cervical vertebrae. Sometimes the need to choose an orthopedic pillow is due to the relief of back pain, and sometimes we just want to prevent it.

Moreover, orthopedic pillows support the rehabilitation of the spine.
Orthopedic pillows ensure proper positioning, regardless of whether we like to sleep on the back or on the side. In both cases, our spine, head and neck will be properly supported.
